    know body otherwise than by those external properties, which discover themselves to the senses…I content myself with knowing perfectly the manner in which objects affect my senses, and their connections with each other, as far as experience informs me of them. This suffices for the conduct of life; and this also suffices for my philosophy, which pretends only to explain the nature and causes of our perceptions, or impressions and ideas” (T 1.2.5.26). Hume is satisfied with what he has…

    Just imagine if we lived in a world where our actions had no outcome, where everything we do or say had no consequence. It would be a consequence free paradise. However, this is not the case. We are Humans, and the actions we face, the things we encounter and the things we don't do, have consequences on our lives and on the others revolving around us. As a result, we need to be capable to control our behavior in a near term to not hurt ourselves or our society in the long term. This structure of…

    tomorrow, and that is true, then it will still be true right now, and if it is true right now, it will be true no matter what. If the statement is true no matter what, there is no possibility for anyone to have the power to make it false. Thus, no one has free will. On the contrary, if there will be…

    1) In this paper I argue that B.C. Johnson’s argument about the problem of evil and God when it comes to dependence is weak because his work field explanation fails. I will address this argument as the “Dependence Argument.” As you read you will notice the simple addition to the job field he addresses points out holes in his “Dependence Argument.” Johnson’s following argument, which I will call the “Moral Urgency Argument,” provides a similar attack to the theist explanation for God allowing…

    Elliott Sober explains that the problem of evil is that its existence is proof for atheism. The proof for atheism based off the existence of evil is called the argument of evil. The first argument proclaims that if God existed, he would be all powerful, all knowing, and all good, and if he did exist, then there would be no evil in the world. Since evil does exist in this world, the conclusion is that god does not exist. There are various other forms of the argument of evil that add exceptions…

    is all-powerful mean that he can control everything that exists? I think that the belief in randomness is directly tied to the concept of free will. Most religions contradict themselves on this point in my opinion, in that they all espouse the concept of free will and how central it is in their beliefs, but at the same time believe in the concept of destiny. Free will and destiny are opposing beliefs, and cannot both exist. Furthermore, randomness has to exist as a prerequisite for our continued…

    most God can do is to stand on the side of the victim; not the executioner” (42-44). Kushner analyzed this quote with a bias view because if his pains and suffering due to the tragic event that happened to his son who did not deserve any punishment. My analytic view is that God knows what is going on he is there for support and guidance but he cannot make a human good or bad. God puts people in situations as a test of faith and obedience. For example like the story of Abraham when God told him…

    Within Ayer’s short essay he discusses the two, seemingly opposing, ideas of free-will and determinism. Throughout his work, however, Ayer seems to break down the ‘divide’ between these two ideas by discussing the differences between causality and constraint of actions. Ayer briefly sets up why the question free-will, and therefore freedom of action, or not having such freedoms, is a problem for us as a society. Our society’s legal system is grounded in the notion that people freely choose to…

    serpent. Irenaeus also argues that God allows evil and suffering to have a place in the world because it is good to some extent; the world was deliberately created with a mixture of good and evil so that humans can mature with a good understanding and a free relationship with God. Irenaeus aims to prove this from the quote “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness” (Genesis 1:26). From this Irenaeus makes a two stage distinction by saying that human beings were made in God’s image but we…
